Enabling tracking quotas in NetApp Cluster-Mode

Tracking quotas are like regular quotas but without any quota limits enforced. Tracking quotas enable you to generate disk and file capacity reports, and when used in conjunction with quotas they are helpful because you can resize quota values without having to reinitialize (turning them off and on to activate).

I recently used tracking quotas on volumes dedicated for user home directories in order to automated a chargeback report of user directory folder sizes using the Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit. But more on that later. First we need to get tracking quotas enabled.
